Rutgers football had more players selected in the NFL Draft in 2013 than it did in the entire 1990s.
Same thing goes for the 1970s. And it’s a tie with seven picks apiece in 2013 and the 1980s.
Since 2001, however, Rutgers has had 25 players drafted, with 21 of those coming from 2007-13.
Now, imagine if only those 25 players – and not some of the stars from decades goneby like Harry Swayne or Bill Pickel – made up the entire contents of one NFL Draft class. No other schools allowed.
Gannett New Jersey did just that and below is our Rutgers-only mock NFL Draft based on the following guidelines
A) Players are drafted based on their college resumes, ignoring their later production in the NFL.
